Jan V. and I ventured to EC Kitchen, a Taiwanese restaurant, next door to Chinese Delicacy. EC Kitchen is known for unadorned, clean, non-greasy Taiwan style food. We arrived at noon, and saw a single fellow diner, who had ordered beef noodle soup enhanced with tomato. It looked very hearty, but neither one of us felt hungry, and decided to order appetizers from their nice photo menu.
Chewy tofu and steamed buns:
Scallion pancakes:
Taiwan style sweet sausage (options: spicy sausage & Cantonese style):
Chive pocket:
Pork belly bun with pickled veggies and cilantro:
Turnip cake is not pictured, but very good.
We enjoyed the shared appetizers, and rate it a JV “2”; and probably a “3” for well prepared and healthier food. We need to return and try some of their entrees. The beef shank noodle soup sounds good. Their signature items (preservative free sausage, beef shank, and turnip cake) are available in refrigerated units for take out.
